Microsoft's key goal is to be able to have the freedom to innovate like we always have, where we decide what goes into the product, where we can support the Internet in the product, ...

We are trying to put a 'services plus software' mentality into many of the product groups inside Microsoft.
These proposals will have a chilling effect on innovation in the high technology industry, ... Microsoft could never have developed Windows under these rules. Looking forward, this kind of regulation would make it impossible for Microsoft to develop the next generation of great software.
